TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already supply destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, so the destructive nature is covered. The description adds useful context that the operation acts on the current selection and only on timeline clips, not project items, but it doesn't elaborate on ripple behavior or no-selection behavior beyond what the schema already states.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single, front-loaded sentence conveys the essential operation with no filler. Every word adds meaning.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple one-optional-parameter destructive action with a rich schema and output schema, the description is adequately complete. It could be slightly stronger by naming the ripple-delete alternative or clarifying the no-selection behavior, but nothing essential for a successful call is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, and the 'ripple' parameter is already documented with its boolean meaning and default. The description doesn't need to add parameter detail; it adds no extra semantics over the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description identifies a specific verb ('Remove'), a resource ('clips'), a scope ('all currently selected'), and a location ('timeline'), so an agent understands the core operation. It doesn't name a sibling for contrast, but the selection-based scope distinguishes it from generic remove/delete tools.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No when-to-use guidance or alternatives are given. It implicitly assumes a current selection, but doesn't say to prefer this over remove_from_timeline, ripple_delete, lift_selection, or extract_selection, which are all present in the sibling list.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
